6 Best Nespresso Machines (2018)

After 18 hours of research evaluating 42 products, we picked Nespresso Pixie by Breville as our top choice.

Ready to change the way you think about single serve coffee makers? We’ve lined up the best Nespresso machine options to do just that - and we’ve read through thousands of Nespresso reviews to get to the absolute best.

Nespresso vs Keurig

If you’ve always found Keurig pods to be weak (which some people do - though not everyone), you should fear not. Nespresso pods are bold and full of flavor and you’ve got more options than you might imagine when it comes to the pods you choose.

In addition, Nespresso pods are totally recyclable (unlike K-cups). You get the convenience of the push system without the ecological guilt that goes with it.

Sounds good so far, right?

And, you’re going to love the speed at which these machines deliver the perfect cup of coffee every single time.

Nespresso Vertuoline vs Original Line

Before you rush off to buy the best Nespresso machine for you (which we seriously recommend doing), there is something you need to know. There are two types of Nespresso pods (and therefore machines) and they’re not interchangeable.

If you buy an Original Line Nespresso Machine, you need to buy Original Line pods. If you go for a VertuoLine Nespresso Machine, you’ll need VertuoLine pods. And you may just want to go this way if you don’t trust yourself to make the perfect cup as these have an imprinted code on each capsule that tells the machine exactly what to do.

Details

No matter what you want to make with this coffee machine, it's easy to use. The interface walks you through every step of the process, whether you're making coffee or servicing your machine. You get notifications for every step of the process as well, which we love.

Cleaning is simple with cycles that handle much of the work (and all you need to do is flip a switch). There's also a light by the coffee outlet which is great for dark corners.

And, on top of all of this, you can customise the already excellent coffee settings to your liking.
